Bould O'Donoghue

Oh, here I am from Paddy's land, the land of high renown

I've broke the hearts of all the girls from miles around Keady town

And when they hear that I'm awa', they'll raise a hullabaloo

When they hear about that handsome lad that they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do

I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan

With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan

Bould OODonoghue

I wish my love was a red, red rose, growing on yon garden wall

And I can be the dew drop and upon your brow I'd fall

Perhaps that she might think on me as a rather heavy dew

No more she'd love the handsome lad they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do

I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan

With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan

Bould O’Donoghue

I hear the Queen of England has a daughter fine and grand

Perhaps she'd take it into her head for to marry an Irishman

If I could only get the chance to have a word or two

I'm sure she'd take a notion in the Bould O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do

I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan

With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan

Bould O’Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do

I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan

With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan
